In this hands-on workshop, you'll carve and sculpt striking vessels from solid blocks of black clay, revealing unique textures and organic forms. Perfect for beginners and experienced ceramicists alike, this workshop offers a meditative approach to pottery that embraces wabi-sabi aesthetics and celebrates imperfection. All materials are provided. Valeria will be your guide and will give a step-by-step demonstration of the 'kurinuki' method. All levels of clay experience welcome (beginner friendly). All materials provided. Tea/coffee and light refreshments served. Items glazed and fired for you, ready for collection 6 weeks later.
